Yogaban Retreat, formerly known as Purna Yoga Retreat, is a welcoming sanctuary for yoga, meditation, teacher training, and singing bowl programs. Located in the serene surroundings of Lakeside, Pokhara, Nepal, the retreat offers a peaceful environment for self-discovery and holistic well-being.

After nearly 15 years of meaningful collaboration, the formal lease agreement between Purna Yoga Retreat and the property came to an end. Purna Yoga has since moved its operations to a more suitable, privately owned location nearby.
Following this transition, the owner of the original retreat property, Mr. Ram, established Yogaban Retreat  in 2024. While the name has changed, the core values, spirit, and essence of the former Purna Yoga Retreat continue to live on. With the mutual agreement between both parties, certain assets and elements of the original retreat have remained, allowing Yogaban to carry forward a familiar and trusted experience. Many experienced staff members have also continued their journey here, ensuring continuity in service and quality.

Nestled on a scenic hilltop, Yogaban Retreat offers breathtaking views of Fewa Lake and the surrounding mountains, creating an ideal atmosphere for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Whether you are beginning your yoga journey, deepening your practice, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, our retreat provides the perfect setting.

In Yogaban retreat beginners are guided safely through yoga fundamentals and asanas, while experienced practitioners can expand their skills under the guidance of our knowledgeable teachers.

At Yogaban Retreat, we promote a holistic connection of body, mind, and spirit through diverse yoga and meditation practices. We believe yoga is more than physical exercise —it is a way of life that fosters deeper awareness and harmony within ourselves and with the world around us.

Our primary style is traditional Hatha Yoga, complemented by elements of Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, and Kundalini. Sessions include asanas, pranayama (breathing techniques), dynamic flows, meditation practices, sound healing, chanting, and deep relaxation techniques.

For those wishing to deepen their knowledge, we offer comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training courses. These programs are ideal for aspiring teachers and dedicated practitioners, covering yoga philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, and practical experience under expert guidance.

Guests also have ample opportunities to unwind and reconnect with nature. Enjoy our peaceful garden, steam baths, mud baths, and access to a nearby outdoor swimming pool-all designed to help you feel refreshed and renewed.

Throughout the year, we host a variety of themed retreats focusing on specific intentions such as detoxification, weight management, sound healing, and creative expression like mandala art and bhakti yoga. These programs combine traditional practices with unique experiences to create a truly enriching journey.
